About DearTomorrowMe
DearTomorrowMe is a hosted service for writing or recording a message to your future self. You seal the message today, choose a delivery date, and the service holds it until then. The idea is to capture a goal, a promise or how you feel right now so you can revisit it months or years later.
The flow has five steps: write or add a video, pick a date, seal it, wait, and read. Once sealed, the message is locked and cannot be opened early, even by the sender. On the chosen date it arrives in your inbox exactly as written. Suggested delivery windows range from six months to five years, or a personally meaningful date such as a birthday.
It is a commercial product with a free start and a one-time fee to seal a message, with no subscription. It suits people who keep journals, set personal goals, or want a time-capsule style reminder of who they were at a particular moment.
